Unrest in the Civil War-torn West African state of Liberia continues to erupt.
On Thursday rebels from the UnitedLiberationMovement for Democracy (ULIMO armed with grenades and spears took over the National Bank in protest at the dismissal of its governor.
The protest was resolved without violence, but the incident has added to a growing sense of tension in the country.
A West African peace keeping force is trying to implement a peace accord signed last August, but has been attacked by rebel forces in the diamond rich region in the north west.
The rebel convoy of ULIMO and the Liberian Peace Council leave the capital Monrovia for the frontline.
On Thursday their supporters took over the National Bank for the day after its governor was replaced.
The bodyguards of the leaders Roosevelt Johnson and George Boley mete out rough justice to a hapless motorist who happened to crash into the convoy.
The bodyguards then took the man's car as compensation for wrecking their own.
They continued on to the West African peacekeeping force ECOMOG's checkpoint at the Po River bridge.
They had to wait before permission was given, but they were soon on their way again.
Two miles beyond the bridge ECOMOG's influence ends and bandit country begins.
These are the lawless roads that British novelist Graham Greene wrote about so vividly in his book, Journey Without Maps.
Along the way the bodyguard remove the barriers as they approach the ULIMO frontline.
ULIMO has been waging a running battle against ECOMOG forces. Clashes have killed 10 peace keepers and dozens of civilians in the last week.
ULIMO and L-P-C supporters greeted their comrades from Monrovia with war dances and song.
Next stop was the town of Klay, 25 miles north west of the capital.
Just beyond was the burnt out ECOMOG convoy which rebels had destroyed in the recent fighting.
The destination was Tubmanburg, scene of clashes between ECOMOG troops and rebels.
Residents say the West African peacekeeping force shelled the town, killing many people.

History

The history of West Africa can be divided into five major periods: first, its prehistory, in which the first human settlers arrived, developed agriculture, and made contact with peoples to the north; the second, the Iron Age empires that consolidated both intra-African, and extra-African trade, and developed centralized states; third, Major polities flourished, which would undergo an extensive history of contact with non-Africans; fourth, the colonial period, in which Great Britain and France controlled nearly the whole of the region; fifth, the post-independence era, in which the current nations were formed.

Etymology

The word "West" is a Germanic word passed into some Romance languages (ouest in French, oest in Catalan, ovest in Italian, oeste in Spanish and Portuguese). As is apparent in the Gothic term vasi (Visigoths), it stems from the same Indo-European root that gave the Sanskrit vas-ati (night) and vesper (evening) in Latin.

Sona Jobarteh

Sona Jobarteh (1983)is the first female professional kora player to come from a Griot family, as well as a vocalist, multi-instrumentalist and composer from the Gambia and the UK. She was born in 1983 into one of the five principal Kora-playing Griot families from West Africa. She is the granddaughter of the Master Griot of his generation, Amadu Bansang Jobarteh, and cousin of the well-known, celebrated Kora player Toumani Diabate and she is also the sister of the renowned Diaspora Kora player Tunde Jegede.

Biography

Born in London,Sona Jobarteh is a member of one of the five principal Kora-playing (Griot) families from West Africa, and the first female member of such a famiy to rise to prominence on this instrument. Before her, the playing of this 21-stringed harp-like instrument was exclusively passed down from father to son. The instrument is an important element of the Mandingo peoples in West Africa and their playing is reserved only to certain families called Griot. She is the granddaughter of the Master Griot of his generation, Amadu Bansang Jobarteh, who migrated from Mali to the Gambia. Her cousin is the well-known, celebrated Kora player Toumani Diabate. She has studied the Kora since the age of three, at first taught by her brother Tunde Jegede, and then by her father, Sanjally Jobarteh. She gave her first performance at London’s Jazz Café when she was four years old.

Kanye West

He is the founder of the record label GOOD Music and creative content company DONDA. West is one of the most acclaimed musicians of the 21st century.

Kicking Ebola Out Of West Africa

#KickingEbolaOutOfWestAfrica
#EbolaBallKickChallenge
ISAIAH WASHINGTON ON THE EBOLA CRISIS IN SERRIA LEONE
Hello, It is my hope, as an American and Sierra Leone citizen, that the World truly understands the threat that the current Ebola Virus is and why the World should act. On September 25, 2014 at around 4:35am, I awoke with a jolt with an idea and immediately opened up my laptop to surf the internet. 10 minutes later I came across this quote:
“Soccer is more than kicking a ball from goal to goal. Soccer connects people at all four corners of the world.”
I sat stark still and thought about how Ebola is now threatening the four corners of our World. To me, Kicking Ebola Out of West Africa is one of the most important goals to be made in the 21st Century. And I thought we can use the love of Soccer to do it! It was at that very moment, I was compelled to to take action by creating the Kicking Ebola Out of West Africa PSA and Ebola BallKickChallenge to help raise immediate funds and global awareness to build sustainable healthcare systems and rebuild infrastructures throughout the crisis-affected countries in West Africa. It is my hope to help qualified professionals get the continued support that they need to address the crisis on the ground and ensure that long-term behavior changes are made through proper training at the community levels throughout West Africa.
It is the African People that will ultimately end the Ebola Virus threat and my partners at Africare are at the forefront of helping the African People do just that.
—Isaiah Washington

Kicking Ebola Out Of West Africa

ISAIAH WASHINGTON ON THE EBOLA CRISIS IN SERRIA LEONE
Hello, It is my hope, as an American and Sierra Leone citizen, that the World truly understands the threat that the current Ebola Virus is and why the World should act. On September 25, 2014 at around 4:35am, I awoke with a jolt with an idea and immediately opened up my laptop to surf the internet. 10 minutes later I came across this quote:
“Soccer is more than kicking a ball from goal to goal. Soccer connects people at all four corners of the world.”
I sat stark still and thought about how Ebola is now threatening the four corners of our World. To me, Kicking Ebola Out of West Africa is one of the most important goals to be made in the 21st Century. And I thought we can use the l...

Officials warn the dysfunctional health care system and public mistrust are the reason for the rampant spreading of the deadly virus. Twenty infected patients fled a clinic in the Liberian capital after an angry crowd looted the treatment center, claiming the virus was a hoax by the Liberian president to get money. Debora Patta reports from Johannesburg, South Africa.

West African truck drivers spend days, weeks, and sometimes months dealing with corrupt border officials and illegal checkpoints on harrowing delivery trips that should take just a few hours.
--
The truck driver holds a mythic stature in American music, from the hayseed hagiographies of Slim Jacobs and BobbySykes to the liner notes of Big Black's Songs About Fucking. There aren't as many country songs about African truckers, but they are no less the virile champions of industry and gluteal fortitude as their US counterparts. On their backs rest the burden of an entire continent's economic development and through their bloodstreams runs a hell of a lot of the continent's HIV.
Trade in West Africa is perennially fucked, partially because the colonial powers of the 19th and early 20th centuries chopped the place up into a pizza pie of nonsensical borders, but also because most post-colonial governments in the area were so unabashedly corrupt we had to coin the term "kleptocracy" to describe them. Driving a semi full of margarine a US state's length to its delivery point often involves passing through 3-4 separate countries and navigating the byzantine customs and immigration processes at each port of entry. Then there are the internal checkpoints manned by local police and customs agents on the lookout for smugglers, or non-smugglers who can be intimidated into coughing up a bribe. Then there's just fuckers who'll pull you over and straight-up rob you. Infrastructure ain't always so hot here, either.
All of which turns shipments which would take a few hours in Europe or America into grueling, day-cum-week-cum-monthlong affairs punctuated by long and unpredictable periods of complete standstill. Which, in addition to wasting fuel and driving up the cost of goods with every unplanned stop, also fuels the sort of boredom that can only be fought by dumping money into the less savory sectors of the economy. Namely booze sales and roadside prostitution. Which is where the AIDS come in.
Intrigued by the African long-haul trucker's dual reputation as the foundational building block of West Africa's would-be robust economy and lotharious Johnny AIDS-leseed, we hitched a ride with a trailer full of soap to see just how hard it is to get from point-A to point-basically-A-and-a-half.

Unrest in the Civil War-torn West African state of Liberia continues to erupt.
On Thursday rebels from the UnitedLiberationMovement for Democracy (ULIMO armed with grenades and spears took over the National Bank in protest at the dismissal of its governor.
The protest was resolved without violence, but the incident has added to a growing sense of tension in the country.
A West African peace keeping force is trying to implement a peace accord signed last August, but has been attacked by rebel forces in the diamond rich region in the north west.
The rebel convoy of ULIMO and the Liberian Peace Council leave the capital Monrovia for the frontline.
On Thursday their supporters took over the National Bank for the day after its governor was replaced.
The bodyguards of the leaders Roosevelt Johnson and George Boley mete out rough justice to a hapless motorist who happened to crash into the convoy.
The bodyguards then took the man's car as compensation for wrecking their own.
They continued on to the West African peacekeeping force ECOMOG's checkpoint at the Po River bridge.
They had to wait before permission was given, but they were soon on their way again.
Two miles beyond the bridge ECOMOG's influence ends and bandit country begins.
These are the lawless roads that British novelist Graham Greene wrote about so vividly in his book, Journey Without Maps.
Along the way the bodyguard remove the barriers as they approach the ULIMO frontline.
ULIMO has been waging a running battle against ECOMOG forces. Clashes have killed 10 peace keepers and dozens of civilians in the last week.
ULIMO and L-P-C supporters greeted their comrades from Monrovia with war dances and song.
Next stop was the town of Klay, 25 miles north west of the capital.
Just beyond was the burnt out ECOMOG convoy which rebels had destroyed in the recent fighting.
The destination was Tubmanburg, scene of clashes between ECOMOG troops and rebels.
Residents say the West African peacekeeping force shelled the town, killing many people.
SOUNDBITE:
"Q: Where there any people at the hospital?
So many people died."
SUPERCAPTION: Woman witness
SOUNDBITE:
"She got killed. She died.
Q: How old was she?
She was a young woman. About 25."
SUPER CAPTION: Male witness
Liberia's civil war began in December 1989 and formally came to end in August 1995.
An interim government was installed in September to prepare for elections this year, but the violence continues despite the ceasefire.

ISAIAH WASHINGTON ON THE EBOLA CRISIS IN SERRIA LEONE
Hello, It is my hope, as an American and Sierra Leone citizen, that the World truly understands the threat that the current Ebola Virus is and why the World should act. On September 25, 2014 at around 4:35am, I awoke with a jolt with an idea and immediately opened up my laptop to surf the internet. 10 minutes later I came across this quote:
“Soccer is more than kicking a ball from goal to goal. Soccer connects people at all four corners of the world.”
I sat stark still and thought about how Ebola is now threatening the four corners of our World. To me, Kicking Ebola Out of West Africa is one of the most important goals to be made in the 21st Century. And I thought we can use the love of Soccer to do it! It was at that very moment, I was compelled to to take action by creating the Kicking Ebola Out of West Africa PSA and Ebola BallKickChallenge to help raise immediate funds and global awareness to build sustainable healthcare systems and rebuild infrastructures throughout the crisis-affected countries in West Africa. It is my hope to help qualified professionals get the continued support that they need to address the crisis on the ground and ensure that long-term behavior changes are made through proper training at the community levels throughout West Africa.
It is the African People that will ultimately end the Ebola Virus threat and my partners at Africare are at the forefront of helping the African People do just that.
—Isaiah Washington

https://www.expedia.com/St-Lucia.d168.Destination-Travel-Guides

At the Central Market, taste the fruits of this island’s volcanic soil, enjoy real St Lucian home cooking, and browse crafts made by local hands. The creation story continues at Eudovik’s ArtStudio, where master carvers transform tree roots into sensual works of art.
The sleepy French colonial town, Soufriere, is cradled by some of the island’s greatest natural treasures. Just a short boat ride away is one island’s finest resort beaches, Anse Chastanet. While nestled between the two volcanic spires of Gros and Petit Piton, is one of the west coast’s most secluded hideaways, Sugar Beach.

Travel video about destination Cabo Verde.
Cape Verde is an exotic island world, an archipelago off the coast of West Africa it combines the flair of the Canaries with the charm of Africa. ExplorersChristopher Columbus and Vasco Ad Gama lay anchor there in order to replenish supplies and repair their ships. It was not until 1445 that the fifteen islands were discovered and consequently became a Portuguese colony. We begin in the north east of the islands, in Sal. Crystal blue sea and endless sandy beaches, islands of both wind and sunshine with a volcanic lunar landscape twenty five kilometres long and twelve kilometres wide. Sal owes its name and colonization to its once most important export of salt which was to be found in huge quantities. Baia Da Fontana, close to Palmeira, appears like a shady oasis with various green trees that provide welcome shelter from the heat and in the background the dominant Monte Leste volcano where the slopes reach down to the shore and the splendid rock pools of Buracona. Mindelo, situated on the island São Vicente, is considered to be the cultural centre of the archipelago in which typical Creole art has been preserved. Sparse, raw and untamed it is dominated by powerful, almost mystical mountains. Santo Antão is an island of mountains, wind and water and the second largest island of Cape Verde. Its most important route is a road over the high mountains. The views of the Paúl Valley take the breath away. A fairytale world of stone which looks truly surreal. Against the background of the scenery, clouds entangle themselves within the mountains and provide life-giving moisture. Each island is unique and possesses its own special charm. Cabo Verde - islands full of light and joie de vivre!

Vacation travel video about destination Malawi in Africa.
Malawi is the unknown Africa in the south-east of the Continent. A wild country between sea and highlands, a land of contrasts with amazing green mountains and high plateaus but most of all, Lake Malawi.In the north west and on the border with Zambia is the thousand square kilometre Vwaza Marsh Wildlife Reserve, home to more than two hundred elephants who, in small groups, visit the Kazuni SafariCamp on their way to the lake. In theLake Kazuni area there are many hippos and crocodiles which although rarely seen from the shore can certainly be heard at night. The location of the small town of Nkhata Bay is quite spectacular, a large, sheltered bay, accessible via a steep slope. Small boats transport the local people to various locations so that they can buy and sell, as there are hardly any roads around the lake. A restless, colourful and vibrant harbour town and the northernmost point which famous explorer Dr. David Livingstone reached on his historic voyage of discovery. Cichlids, the living jewels of Lake Malawi, are highly sought after among aquatic fish enthusiasts, the brightly coloured males achieving the highest prices. Provided with a good supply of oxygen and a light sedative in the water, once a month the fish are taken to the airport. The craggy rock scenery of Lake Malawi was not always below water. Only when the southern section of the East African Rift Valley filled with water did it become home to cichlids. On the extreme south east coast on the border with Mozambique is Mount Mulanje, a huge mountain range that formed during volcanic activity more than a hundred and thirty million years ago. At the foot of the mountain scenery grows one of the world’s finest varieties of tea. The Maravi Kingdom eventually became an independent country, Malawi, the warm and beating heart of Africa!

Check out more episodes from The VICE Guide to Travel here: http://bit.ly/1id8igT
VICE travels to West Africa to rummage through the messy remains of a country ravaged by 14 years of civil war. Despite the United Nation's eventual intervention, most of Liberia's young people continue to live in abject poverty, surrounded by filth, drug addiction, and teenage prostitution. The former child soldiers who were forced into war have been left to fend for themselves, the murderous warlords who once led them in cannibalistic rampages have taken up as so-called community leaders, and new militias are lying in wait for the opportunity to reclaim their country from a government they rightly mistrust.

► First Out of Africa - The totally isolated Tribe of the Andaman (Sky Vision Documentary)

There are still people in this world who have no idea that civilization exists.
On remote islands in the Bay of Bengal live mysterious tribes. The five-foot high black skinned Andaman islanders are rumoured by sailors to be cannibals. Their origins are mysterious, but this film reveals how modern DNA analysis suggests that these ancient people have close links to Africa, from where they have been separated for 100,000 years

Africa's Cowboy Capitalists (Full Length)

For maverick entrepreneur Ian Cox, Africa is the last frontier of free enterprise. The former small-time hustler has been busting his ass on the continent for years, selling and moving merchandise. In 2012 he nabbed a lucrative United Nations contract to transport equipment from South Africa to South Sudan, a country on many countries' embargo list. The other problem: the journey north entails passing through countless checkpoints and dealing with bribe-happy officials and their nonsensical paperwork and regulations.
Photographer and filmmaker Tim Freccia followed around Ian and the guys he hired for this job. "Cowboy Capitalists" documents their attempts to navigate the continent's dangerous roads and bureaucratic chaos.

West African Kingdom Found In Alabama

In early July 1860, the Clotilde entered Mobile Bay and approached the port of Mobile. CaptainFoster loaded the slaves onto a riverboat and sent them ashore; he set fire to the Clotilde to hide the evidence of its captives. The Africans were distributed among the parties who had invested in the venture. Federal authorities learned of this illegal activity and prosecuted Meaher and his partners. The 1861 federal court case of US v. Byrnes Meaher, Timothy Meaher and John Dabey did not find enough evidence to convict Meaher. The case was dismissed. Historians believe the start of the American Civil War was the reason the federal government dropped the case.
Thirty-two Africans had been taken to MagazinePoint, the property owned by Timothy Meaher north of Mobile. As the government was invest...

How to HUNT Wild Animals in Africa

Hunting wild animals in Africa is a tradition that goes back to our ancestors, for food and for sport, and hunting is still commonly practised across the continent. So, BattaBox went to find out how to hunting in Africa.

"If we go out to hunt at midnight, then we see strange creatures," says one of the hunters. "The strange animals come out only at midnight.
The hunt starts with a series of ancient traditions, including chanting, spraying alcohol, and giving an offering to appease the gods, as well as putting charms on your person and your weapons.
Unlike foreign hunters, who often come to Africa to hunt big game such as elephants, rhino, giraffe, and buffalo, much of the "big five" a...

Internet Scamming in Ghana

Fraudsters in Ghana show us how they use internet scams to steal thousands of dollars from unsuspecting victims all over the globe.
--
While Nigeria's 401 scammers may have written the book on West African internet fraud, their shtick looks like Compuserve compared to what's going on in Ghana. Unsatisfied with the meager winnings from emailing thousands of random Westerners in hopes of convincing one poor sap they're the treasurer of the Ivory Coast, Ghana's scammers decided to stack the odds in their favor the old-fashioned way—witchcraft.
Taking a page from cyberpunk, traditional West African Juju priests adapted their services to the needs of the information age and started leading down-on-their-luck internet scammers through strange and costly rituals designed to increase their powers...

Hebrewisms of West Africa

Stealing Africa - Why Poverty?

How much profit is fair? To find out more and get teaching resources, go to www.whypoverty.net
Rüschlikon is a village in Switzerland with a very low tax rate and very wealthy residents. But it receives more tax revenue than it can use. This is largely thanks to one resident - Ivan Glasenberg, CEO of Glencore, whose copper mines in Zambia are not generating a large bounty tax revenue for the Zambians. Zambia has the 3rd largest copper reserves in the world, but 60% of the population live on less than $1 a day and 80% are unemployed. Based on original research into public documents, the film describes the tax system employed by multinational companies in Africa.

VICE travels to West Africa to rummage through the messy remains of a country ravaged by 14 years of civil war. Despite the United Nation's eventual intervention, most of Liberia's young people continue to live in abject poverty, surrounded by filth, drug addiction, and teenage prostitution. The former child soldiers who were forced into war have been left to fend for themselves, the murderous warlords who once led them in cannibalistic rampages have taken up as so-called community leaders, and new militias are lying in wait for the opportunity to reclaim their country from a government they rightly mistrust.

Their origins are mysterious, but this film reveals how modern DNA analysis suggests that these ancient people have close links to Africa, from where they have been separated for 100,000 years

For maverick entrepreneur Ian Cox, Africa is the last frontier of free enterprise. The former small-time hustler has been busting his ass on the continent for years, selling and moving merchandise. In 2012 he nabbed a lucrative United Nations contract to transport equipment from South Africa to South Sudan, a country on many countries' embargo list. The other problem: the journey north entails passing through countless checkpoints and dealing with bribe-happy officials and their nonsensical paperwork and regulations.
Photographer and filmmaker Tim Freccia followed around Ian and the guys he hired for this job. "Cowboy Capitalists" documents their attempts to navigate the continent's dangerous roads and bureaucratic chaos.

In early July 1860, the Clotilde entered Mobile Bay and approached the port of Mobile. CaptainFoster loaded the slaves onto a riverboat and sent them ashore; he set fire to the Clotilde to hide the evidence of its captives. The Africans were distributed among the parties who had invested in the venture. Federal authorities learned of this illegal activity and prosecuted Meaher and his partners. The 1861 federal court case of US v. Byrnes Meaher, Timothy Meaher and John Dabey did not find enough evidence to convict Meaher. The case was dismissed. Historians believe the start of the American Civil War was the reason the federal government dropped the case.
Thirty-two Africans had been taken to MagazinePoint, the property owned by Timothy Meaher north of Mobile. As the government was investigating the illegal importation, the Africans were left on their own to survive. They developed a community here that became known as Africatown. Among the Africans was a man named Cudjoe Kazoola Lewis. He was the last survivor of the original group, living until 1935.
The group built shelters of whatever they found growing in the Alabama forests, and adapted their hunting to the rich game they found in the area. After the Civil War and emancipation, they were joined by a number of their fellow tribesmen. A man who became known as CharliePoteet was their chief; their medicine man was named Jabez. In time, they formed a self-governing society. They spoke their native language and carried on their tribal traditions into the 1950s.
Gradually the original group of settlers and their descendants dwindled, as people moved to other areas. Their children went to public schools and learned English. Remaining members would gather on Sundays after church to discuss the group's welfare. Of the remaining people, Cudjoe Lewis was the best known. He gave interviews to the many writers who studied Africatown during the early 20th century. Up until World War II, Africatown survived as a distinct community.

How to HUNT Wild Animals in Africa

Hunting wild animals in Africa is a tradition that goes back to our ancestors, for food and for sport, and hunting is still commonly practised across the continent. So, BattaBox went to find out how to hunting in Africa.

"If we go out to hunt at midnight, then we see strange creatures," says one of the hunters. "The strange animals come out only at midnight.
The hunt starts with a series of ancient traditions, including chanting, spraying alcohol, and giving an offering to appease the gods, as well as putting charms on your person and your weapons.
Unlike foreign hunters, who often come to Africa to hunt big game such as elephants, rhino, giraffe, and buffalo, much of the "big five" animals - most of which has already been hunted to extinction in West Africa - local African hunters now focus on small game. And they don't hunt for trophies, but for food and sport.
The hunt begins at the Coker AreaHunters Association in Ogun state, Nigeria - "They are going to kill a lion or elephant," jokes BattaBox presenter Bolly as he eats his breakfast. "So you must eat first, in case they chase you!"
The wild animals that hunters commonly kill in Nigeria include antelope, grass cutter, gazelle, duikers, rabbits and snakes. The hunters take their machetes and rifles and go into the deep bush in the countryside of Nigeria where the hunters give the offering of a male cockerel, kola nuts, and alcohol to the gods with the chant:
"Push the animals our way today, so we may kill bush meat. So shall it be," says the hunter with the gun slung over his shoulder.
Dogs are also an essential companion for any hunter, and before they enter the bush, special charms are put in the dog's eyes so it may see and smell the wild animals better in the deep bush. The guns include all variety of rifles and shotguns. And when in the bush, the hunters call to each other with cries and shouts, while hacking at the bush with machetes to drive the animals towards the hunters.
And today's hunt is successful - as a dog (called James) kills a duiker which is put into a bag; and then a large GrassCutter crosses the path of one hunter and is shot immediately; and in total four animals, including antelope and rabbit, are killed by the hunters.
And after the hunt, the hunters skin the animals, light a fire, and then roast the meat to eat and replenish their energy. A small prayer of thanks is offered to Ogun, and the hunters return to their homes.

Fraudsters in Ghana show us how they use internet scams to steal thousands of dollars from unsuspecting victims all over the globe.
--
While Nigeria's 401 scammers may have written the book on West African internet fraud, their shtick looks like Compuserve compared to what's going on in Ghana. Unsatisfied with the meager winnings from emailing thousands of random Westerners in hopes of convincing one poor sap they're the treasurer of the Ivory Coast, Ghana's scammers decided to stack the odds in their favor the old-fashioned way—witchcraft.
Taking a page from cyberpunk, traditional West African Juju priests adapted their services to the needs of the information age and started leading down-on-their-luck internet scammers through strange and costly rituals designed to increase their powers of persuasion and make their emails irresistible to greedy Americans. And so "Sakawa" was born.
Now not only is Sakawa Ghana's most popular youth activity and one of its biggest underground economies, it's a full-blown national phenomenon. Sakawa has its own tunes, clothing brands, Sakawasploitation flicks, and even a metastatic backlash from Christian preachers and the press. When we were in Accra over the summer it was impossible to walk more than 10 feet without seeing the word Sakawa in blood-red Misfits letters on a poster or tabloid, often accompanied by bone-chilling horrors of the photoshopped variety.
The government is freaked out because Sakawa is threatening Ghana's business reputation, the Christians are freaked out because they're losing money to the Juju priests, the press is freaked out because being freaked out is what sells papers, and the public is freaked out because their government, preacher, and media are all telling them they should be. All the while the Sakawa boys are living the high life and racking up debts to the spirit world, just waiting for the axe to fall.

How much profit is fair? To find out more and get teaching resources, go to www.whypoverty.net
Rüschlikon is a village in Switzerland with a very low tax rate and very wealthy residents. But it receives more tax revenue than it can use. This is largely thanks to one resident - Ivan Glasenberg, CEO of Glencore, whose copper mines in Zambia are not generating a large bounty tax revenue for the Zambians. Zambia has the 3rd largest copper reserves in the world, but 60% of the population live on less than $1 a day and 80% are unemployed. Based on original research into public documents, the film describes the tax system employed by multinational companies in Africa.

Ebola outbreak in West Africa spirals nearly out of control

Officials warn the dysfunctional health care system and public mistrust are the reason for the rampant spreading of the deadly virus. Twenty infected patients fled a clinic in the Liberian capital after an angry crowd looted the treatment center, claiming the virus was a hoax by the Liberian president to get money. Debora Patta reports from Johannesburg, South Africa.

West African Truckers (Documentary)

West African truck drivers spend days, weeks, and sometimes months dealing with corrupt border officials and illegal checkpoints on harrowing delivery trips that should take just a few hours.
--
The truck driver holds a mythic stature in American music, from the hayseed hagiographies of Slim Jacobs and BobbySykes to the liner notes of Big Black's Songs About Fucking. There aren't as many country songs about African truckers, but they are no less the virile champions of industry and gluteal fortitude as their US counterparts. On their backs rest the burden of an entire continent's economic development and through their bloodstreams runs a hell of a lot of the continent's HIV.
Trade in West Africa is perennially fucked, partially because the colonial powers of the 19th and early 20th centuries chopped the place up into a pizza pie of nonsensical borders, but also because most post-colonial governments in the area were so unabashedly corrupt we had to coin the term "kleptocracy" to describe them. Driving a semi full of margarine a US state's length to its delivery point often involves passing through 3-4 separate countries and navigating the byzantine customs and immigration processes at each port of entry. Then there are the internal checkpoints manned by local police and customs agents on the lookout for smugglers, or non-smugglers who can be intimidated into coughing up a bribe. Then there's just fuckers who'll pull you over and straight-up rob you. Infrastructure ain't always so hot here, either.
All of which turns shipments which would take a few hours in Europe or America into grueling, day-cum-week-cum-monthlong affairs punctuated by long and unpredictable periods of complete standstill. Which, in addition to wasting fuel and driving up the cost of goods with every unplanned stop, also fuels the sort of boredom that can only be fought by dumping money into the less savory sectors of the economy. Namely booze sales and roadside prostitution. Which is where the AIDS come in.
Intrigued by the African long-haul trucker's dual reputation as the foundational building block of West Africa's would-be robust economy and lotharious Johnny AIDS-leseed, we hitched a ride with a trailer full of soap to see just how hard it is to get from point-A to point-basically-A-and-a-half.

WEST AFRICA: GROWING SENSE OF TENSION IN WAR TORN LIBERIA

English/Nat
Unrest in the Civil War-torn West African state of Liberia continues to erupt.
On Thursday rebels from the UnitedLiberationMovement for Democracy (ULIMO armed with grenades and spears took over the National Bank in protest at the dismissal of its governor.
The protest was resolved without violence, but the incident has added to a growing sense of tension in the country.
A West African peace keeping force is trying to implement a peace accord signed last August, but has been attacked by rebel forces in the diamond rich region in the north west.
The rebel convoy of ULIMO and the Liberian Peace Council leave the capital Monrovia for the frontline.
On Thursday their supporters took over the National Bank for the day after its governor was replaced.
The bodyguards of the leaders Roosevelt Johnson and George Boley mete out rough justice to a hapless motorist who happened to crash into the convoy.
The bodyguards then took the man's car as compensation for wrecking their own.
They continued on to the West African peacekeeping force ECOMOG's checkpoint at the Po River bridge.
They had to wait before permission was given, but they were soon on their way again.
Two miles beyond the bridge ECOMOG's influence ends and bandit country begins.
These are the lawless roads that British novelist Graham Greene wrote about so vividly in his book, Journey Without Maps.
Along the way the bodyguard remove the barriers as they approach the ULIMO frontline.
ULIMO has been waging a running battle against ECOMOG forces. Clashes have killed 10 peace keepers and dozens of civilians in the last week.
ULIMO and L-P-C supporters greeted their comrades from Monrovia with war dances and song.
Next stop was the town of Klay, 25 miles north west of the capital.
Just beyond was the burnt out ECOMOG convoy which rebels had destroyed in the recent fighting.
The destination was Tubmanburg, scene of clashes between ECOMOG troops and rebels.
Residents say the West African peacekeeping force shelled the town, killing many people.
SOUNDBITE:
"Q: Where there any people at the hospital?
So many people died."
SUPERCAPTION: Woman witness
SOUNDBITE:
"She got killed. She died.
Q: How old was she?
She was a young woman. About 25."
SUPER CAPTION: Male witness
Liberia's civil war began in December 1989 and formally came to end in August 1995.
An interim government was installed in September to prepare for elections this year, but the violence continues despite the ceasefire.

Floating like an emerald teardrop between the waters of the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea is the island nation of St Lucia.
For centuries the original Arawak and Carib made their homes around the islands northern bays. In the 1550s, the notorious buccaneer, Peg Leg Le Clerc, became the first European to settle here.
After the pirates came the plantations, and the bittersweet years of sugar and slavery. Between the 17th and 19th centuries, St Lucia was pulled back and forth between the French and British, before finally gaining her independence in 1979.
Right in the heart of the capital, Castries, the main square pays tribute to two of the island’s Nobel Prize winning sons. Just across from the park, visit the basilica, filled with murals that blend the colours and traditions of Africa, the Caribbean and the West.
At the Central Market, taste the fruits of this island’s volcanic soil, enjoy real St Lucian home cooking, and browse crafts made by local hands. The creation story continues at Eudovik’s ArtStudio, where master carvers transform tree roots into sensual works of art.
The sleepy French colonial town, Soufriere, is cradled by some of the island’s greatest natural treasures. Just a short boat ride away is one island’s finest resort beaches, Anse Chastanet. While nestled between the two volcanic spires of Gros and Petit Piton, is one of the west coast’s most secluded hideaways, Sugar Beach.

Travel video about destination Cabo Verde.
Cape Verde is an exotic island world, an archipelago off the coast of West Africa it combines the flair of the Canaries with the charm of Africa. ExplorersChristopher Columbus and Vasco Ad Gama lay anchor there in order to replenish supplies and repair their ships. It was not until 1445 that the fifteen islands were discovered and consequently became a Portuguese colony. We begin in the north east of the islands, in Sal. Crystal blue sea and endless sandy beaches, islands of both wind and sunshine with a volcanic lunar landscape twenty five kilometres long and twelve kilometres wide. Sal owes its name and colonization to its once most important export of salt which was to be found in huge quantities. Baia Da Fontana, close to Palmeira, appears like a shady oasis with various green trees that provide welcome shelter from the heat and in the background the dominant Monte Leste volcano where the slopes reach down to the shore and the splendid rock pools of Buracona. Mindelo, situated on the island São Vicente, is considered to be the cultural centre of the archipelago in which typical Creole art has been preserved. Sparse, raw and untamed it is dominated by powerful, almost mystical mountains. Santo Antão is an island of mountains, wind and water and the second largest island of Cape Verde. Its most important route is a road over the high mountains. The views of the Paúl Valley take the breath away. A fairytale world of stone which looks truly surreal. Against the background of the scenery, clouds entangle themselves within the mountains and provide life-giving moisture. Each island is unique and possesses its own special charm. Cabo Verde - islands full of light and joie de vivre!

Malawi (Africa) Vacation Travel Video Guide

Vacation travel video about destination Malawi in Africa.
Malawi is the unknown Africa in the south-east of the Continent. A wild country between sea and highlands, a land of contrasts with amazing green mountains and high plateaus but most of all, Lake Malawi.In the north west and on the border with Zambia is the thousand square kilometre Vwaza Marsh Wildlife Reserve, home to more than two hundred elephants who, in small groups, visit the Kazuni SafariCamp on their way to the lake. In theLake Kazuni area there are many hippos and crocodiles which although rarely seen from the shore can certainly be heard at night. The location of the small town of Nkhata Bay is quite spectacular, a large, sheltered bay, accessible via a steep slope. Small boats transport the local people to various locations so that they can buy and sell, as there are hardly any roads around the lake. A restless, colourful and vibrant harbour town and the northernmost point which famous explorer Dr. David Livingstone reached on his historic voyage of discovery. Cichlids, the living jewels of Lake Malawi, are highly sought after among aquatic fish enthusiasts, the brightly coloured males achieving the highest prices. Provided with a good supply of oxygen and a light sedative in the water, once a month the fish are taken to the airport. The craggy rock scenery of Lake Malawi was not always below water. Only when the southern section of the East African Rift Valley filled with water did it become home to cichlids. On the extreme south east coast on the border with Mozambique is Mount Mulanje, a huge mountain range that formed during volcanic activity more than a hundred and thirty million years ago. At the foot of the mountain scenery grows one of the world’s finest varieties of tea. The Maravi Kingdom eventually became an independent country, Malawi, the warm and beating heart of Africa!
